Similar to other subjects, different little creatures offer us excellent break to click exceptional photographs. With a few points in our consideration, we can get high quality images.
Similar to other subjects, different little creatures offer us excellent break to click exceptional photographs. With a few points in our consideration, we can get high quality images.
1. A superior macro lens fitted on a D SLR is ideal for achieving satisfactory results. A zoom lens with macro attachment is also useful.
2. Most of the compact or prosumer digital cameras are equipped with a macro provision. This option also helps getting good close ups of small objects. If one cannot afford an expensive D SLR with a macro lens, he/she can try above cameras to achieve suitable outcome.
3. We should try to shoot early morning or late evening to get perfect light.
4. Some small creatures can be traced easily during monsoon so this is the best time to shoot them.
5. Nights also offer good chance to shoot these creatures as they are dormant during this time. We can use flash light to capture them during nights. But flash light should not be very harsh. We can cover the front of light with a white hanky or a piece of butter paper. This will soften the effect of light and we will get gentle results with accurate colours and details.
6. Our aim should never be to harm these creatures as they are the vital part of nature.
7. Apart from above points, incessant practice makes one perfect in getting outstanding results.
Here are some photographs of different small creatures for your delight.

Photographing insects is a daunting task as most of them are very shy or extremely alert by nature. They change their positions or hide behind the branches or leaves as soon as you focus on them. Most of them will buzz past you once get alerted. As Pankaj ji has rightly noted, monsoon is the most ideal period of shooting insects as you get them in thousands number and varieties. Not only the nights, heavy down pours also make the insects lethargic. So after a good rain, once the sunshine resumes or if there is adequate light, one should try to shoot them. The tiny water droplets on the wings and body of the insects, cobwebs of the spiders, and on the plants, leaves and flowers as well, augment the effect and beauty of the insects. Nonetheless, the tricks do not end here, prior experience and skill of the person brings out good results. One must know and quickly select the best profiles of the subject before it moves. The photographs taken by Pankaj ji are archetypes of these skills. Good work and excellent skill.
